Abstract
Comb-shaped copolymers of perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate and methacryloxypropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane are synthesized by radical polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide, solubility of the copolymers in supercritical carbon dioxide is studied, and hydrophobic properties of thin films obtained via precipitation of the copolymers from trifluorotrichloroethane and supercritical carbon dioxide solutions on substrates are examined. On the basis of water and dimethyl sulfoxide contact angle measurements, the specific free surface energy of the formed films is calculated. It is shown that the thin films of the copolymers have a lower surface energy and are characterized by a smaller water contact angle hysteresis than the films based on homopolymer poly(perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate). A comparative testing of coatings based on the homopolymer and copolymer deposited from solutions in supercritical carbon dioxide on the surface of nylon fabrics is performed. It is found that copolymer-coated fabrics have on average higher water contact angles.
